How To Not Do Nothing

There’s a good double negative for you!

James 2:16 says…

If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but DOES NOTHING about their physical needs, what GOOD is it?

I’ve thought a lot about the words of James recently. So I am trying to make a greater effort to use up my Great Stash for the benefit of others. Each month I want to try and send something to a charity which I have made from the resources I have in store. The enforced sofa-situation has obviously assisted that process thus far.

January– the Leprosy Mission will benefit from the blanket I’ve made and posted off to Belfast. That should eventually end up in Hombolo

February– the Sailors’ Society Woolly Hat Week benefitted from all those hats I was making around Christmas [other than the ones received as gifts by friends and family]

March? ah well, I have a March project already on the go. But you will have to wait to see what that is about…and remember,

I don't know about Christianity in the UK, but in the US, the emphasis seems to be more on right belief than on action. But how can we really be Christians if we don't serve others? In any event, I love your projects and will take inspiration from them!
